NOTE: Paraffin wax seals are no longer recommended because they will not prevent mold growth in jams and jellies. Use canning jars with seals and lids, and follow the directions from a recommended recipe.

Safe canning recipes include
the right mixture of ingredients, time and pressure. They require the
use of proper canning equipment for the foods being processed. Paul
only recommends recipes that have been tested to assure safety. This
testing requires laboratory work to determine the right time and
pressure (based on altitude and pH values) to kill botulism
bacteria.

5-Minute
Strawberry Jam The
key to making jam is small batches. Do not double the recipe. The jam
will not set up. This strawberry jam keeps in the refrigerator for up
to 3 weeks. But, we've never been able to keep it around that long!
It's also great as an ice cream topping. Try
this quick and easy recipe with your kids. It makes a great Mother's
Day present for family and friends. And, if you're lucky, they may
even save some for you. Ingredients ·
1-pint strawberries, hulled and sliced
Directions · In
a medium sized bowl, crush the strawberries with a potato masher ·
In a skillet, combine the crushed strawberries, pectin, and
butter. ·
Stirring constantly, cook over medium-high heat, until the
mixture boils. ·
Add the sugar and bring to a boil. Boil for 1 minute and remove
from the heat. ·
Pour the jam into the jars. Seal. Refrigerate until the jam is
set, approximately 6 hours. Keep jam refrigerated. It will keep for up
to 3 weeks. About

Strawberry Jam 4 Cups mashed strawberries. (I used potato masher) 1 1/2 C. Sugar & 1 pouch of Freezer Jam Pectin
Mix together sugar and Pectin. Add crushed fruit and stir for 3 minutes. Put Jam in jars leaving 1/2 inch head space. Let stand for 30
minutes until thickened and refrigerate up to 3 weeks.
This is my favorite Jam recipe! It can be used with other fruit as well. It is so easy! This takes more time if you don't wear an APRON. What's that? Oh, my grandmother always wore an apron. I always figure it is easy enough to wash clothes today so I neglect to do that. This means I spend a bit more time cleaning red strawberry splatters from my clothing! Ouch!
